I haven't been a comics retailer since the naughty nineties, and I was bad at it then, but doesn't it seem like this predictable scheduling hiccup (twice a year, right?) provides a natural timeline for store events that take advantage of the light shipping week? Maybe a vacation (haha) or a bi-annual sale or a creator in-store?
By the way, this is free advice, which is worth exactly what you pay for it, and I'm not trying to netsplain something on my first week of reading your column. Sorry if I just sound like a dick for suggesting it.
